That's quite a unique frame. I wonder if those wires slits in the arms will create a weakness. I'm also a little concerned about the VTX being out in the open like that.

It was the last vtx I had around to test it... I was not patient enough to wait for the tramps Hv I ordered some days ago. I wanted to fly it :D But a tiny vtx like tramp or unify pro can enter in the frame.
After some crashes in ground and into trees, the frame is still in one piece, it's 4mm arms. Gotta test it more.

Yeah, that was basically my question: How do you think it'll hold up! But you seem to be doing some work on it and she's managing well :)

Every frame can break, but for the moment everything is fine, some videos are coming !

Very interesting design. What is the weight of the frame?

yksaircrafts Jan 09, 2017

The frame is about 110g. It's not light but not so bad for a 6" 4mm frame. I'm working on a 5" race frame with the same design idea wich should weight arround 60g.

It can fly upwards of 20 minutes on a 4 cell Li-Ion battery pack and in ideal conditions it's got a range of over 4 to 5 miles. In this guide I'll walk..

Build a DJI FPV Cinewhoop - QAV-CINE Freybott Edition

Mar 04, 2021

With the release of the DJI FPV Drone cinematic FPV has become a lot more accessible, but you certainly don't want to crash a $750 drone! The QAV-CINE Freybott is a compact, lightweight cinematic FPV drone that can take a hit and keep going. It's a lot safer to fly indoors and around people. With a naked GoPro or the SMO 4k you can capture some great stabilized footage. In this guide I'll show you..
